A recent study indicates that women who earn more money than their husband's are 40% more likely to divorce. Women who earned at least 60% of the total household income are likely to divorce. The study, which took 25 years, also found that it did not matter how affluent the parties were since they were more likely to divorce if the wife was the breadwinner. One reason for the results of this study may be that women are free to leave bad marriages if they are financially independent.
